You missed the context because I did not state it clearly.  You cannot
delegate us.example.com to ns1.us.example.com.  However, you *can*
delegate it to ns1-us.example.com (in other words, a dns server on the
root domain) and it will work.

Requires the workaround that Michael suggested above.  Look at this ML
post from Rob Butler back in June, the author of bind-dlz about this
exact issue.  It explains why my use case described in my original
email does not work, and how Michael K's suggestion is a modification
that will make it work:
